HBO to Air Mini-Series THE NIGHT OF this Summer

The eight-part limited series production THE NIGHT OF, created by Steven Zaillian (AMERICAN GANGSTER) and Richard Price (THE WIRE), will debut this summer, HBO announced.

John Turturro (FADING GIGOLO) and Riz Ahmed (NIGHTCRAWLER) star in the series, directed by Steven Zaillian, which “delves into the intricacies of a complex New York City murder case with cultural and political overtones. The story examines the police investigation, the legal proceedings, the criminal justice system and the feral purgatory of Rikers Island, where the accused await trial for felony crimes.”
